A bit of history:
Fruit desserts have been appreciated over time for their freshness and natural sweetness. Strawberries, for example, have been cultivated since ancient times and are symbols of spring and romance. Combined with light whipped cream, these simple ingredients transform into a sophisticated dessert, perfect for any occasion.

Step by step:

1. Preparing the whipped cream: Start by whipping the sweet cream until it becomes firm. This process may take a few minutes, but it is essential to achieve an airy texture. Once the whipped cream is ready, put it in the fridge for a few minutes to keep it cool and maintain its shape.

2. Preparing the strawberries: Wash the strawberries well under cold running water and remove the stems. Cut them into small pieces so they can be easily incorporated into the dessert.

3. Making the orange syrup: Squeeze the juice from the orange and keep it in a small bowl. This syrup will add a note of freshness and enhance the flavor of the muffins.

4. Soaking the muffins: Cut the muffins in half and, using a spoon, soak each half with the orange juice. This step is essential to add moisture and flavor.

5. Assembling the dessert: Take the three cups and add half a crumbled muffin to each. On top of the muffins, place some pieces of cut strawberries, creating a colorful and delicious layer.

6. Adding the whipped cream: Take the whipped cream out of the fridge and add a generous spoonful on top of each cup. Then, top with the remaining crumbled muffin for a layered appearance.

7. Decorating the dessert: Use a piping bag to decorate each cup with additional whipped cream. This detail will make the dessert look even more appetizing.

8. Finishing touches: Cut a strawberry into a fan shape and place it on top of each cup for an elegant and attractive look.

Enjoy! This quick strawberry dessert is ready to be savored!
